Two test takers from Nigeria (thanks, S and D!) remembered the writing and speaking questions from a recent exam:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a report)
We were given a diagram and a graph showing some details about employees and self-employed, men and women in the UK in 2011. The diagram described their working hours and attitude to work. We were asked to explain and summarise all the data.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
At present the media affects people’s lives significantly. What impact does this have on the society? Is it a negative or a positive development?
